From the Valkyrie to the Endless

This was not the first time that Nangong Shiping and Cheng Guanping beside him had seen Shen Qing. They had known about Shen Qing's existence as early as on Longquan Fairy Island, but Sikong Yuan was still alive at that time.
The main purpose of their exploration of the camp this time was to test the strength of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, "December", to see if he had the capital to become an enemy of Yang Zongxian.
Now that they meet, all their doubts are gone.
Shen Qing's aura was not concealed, and the sharp energy lingering in her body had already told these grand masters the consequences of becoming her enemy.
"All the tribes of Qianzhou have made arrangements. The army will not be hindered from entering the city. We only have one request. Please do not harm the people of Daxia."
Nangong Shiping bowed and said that the reason they chose to surrender the city was because they had already found out about the style of Zhao Yu's army.
The fact that they did not harm the people in the slightest after entering the city was enough.
"I can issue a document that anyone who opens the city and surrenders can retain their original official position and job."
Zhao Yu agreed directly. The best outcome would be to achieve it without bloodshed.
Once a war breaks out, the common people will always suffer, and there will be many more homeless beggars just like her.
Not all beggars can meet Shen Qing like her.
…………
…………
It was autumn again, and Shen Qing met Liu Kunnan again at the border of Qianzhou.
Now that Qianzhou is completely in her hands, with the cooperation of various martial arts sects, everything will come naturally.
However, to take over other provinces, we cannot do without the help of Liu Kunnan.
And this time, she had already started preparing to kill Yang Zongxian.
This battle between her and Yang Zongxian will determine the future course of history and affect the future of countless people, so sufficient intelligence is required.
At least Shen Qing needs to know Yang Zongxian's current combat power and whether he has any remaining cards in his hand.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 87: Discussion of the World, Storm is Coming
The border of Qianzhou.
Royal Lake City.
It is still the same teahouse as before.
The only difference is that the city has quietly changed hands and the flag of King Zhao has been hoisted.
The attitudes of the martial arts sects in Qianzhou towards Zhao Yu were very gentle. Some of them had been entrenched in Qianzhou for many years before the ban on martial arts was implemented, and had had many dealings with the Duke of Zhenguo.
The fact that Zhao Yu was able to take control of Qianzhou so smoothly was closely related to this flag with the word "Zhao" on it.
In the eyes of many people, Zhao Yu's features were indeed very similar to those of the original Duke of Zhenguo, and they did not have any doubts about the claim that he was the descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo.
In other words, choosing to believe this statement can make them feel better. After all, surrendering without a fight is not a glorious thing.
The second floor of the teahouse.
Shen Qing was leaning against the window, her body slim and curvy, her long hair gathered behind her back, gently tied up with a light-colored ribbon, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, her skin seemed to have a glow, as white as snow and jade, her plain white skirt hung down along her feet, covering her long legs.
Her bone age is now nearly three hundred years old. Considering her cultivation level in the Gangsha realm, she is not young. She looks to be twenty-four or twenty-five. At this age, she should have already started a family in Daxia, and her child might be almost ten years old.
The feeling of disguise is not comfortable. Now Shen Qing no longer needs to hide, except in the military camp.
After entering Gangsha, everything changed. In this world, at least for now, her only opponent is Yang Zongxian.
Tread-
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairwell.
Stepping onto the second floor and seeing Shen Qing's true appearance, Liu Kunnan was also stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh: "Girls really change a lot when they grow up."
He vaguely remembered that the last time he saw Shen Qing in the imperial capital, Shen Qing was only thirteen years old, in her prime, and very shy. When attending banquets, she always hid behind Shen Lie.
Liu Kunnan always felt that this was a little unreal. It was difficult for him to connect the legendary killing god in front of him, the woman known as the Silver-faced Rakshasa, with the young and shy girl back then.
All we can say is that after surviving a catastrophe, people will undergo incredible changes.
"Prime Minister Liu."
Shen Qing took the initiative to say hello, and his attitude was much gentler than last time.
That sect's treasure house was of great help to her, enough for her to use for the rest of her life. It was a great favor.
After Liu Kunnan sat down, Shen Qing raised his hand to pour him a cup of tea and got straight to the point:
"What is Yang Zongxian's situation now?"
The last time she took a quick glance at the imperial capital, she could only vaguely sense that Yang Zongxian had suffered a serious injury, but now that so much time has passed, she has no idea to what extent Yang Zongxian has recovered.
"The current situation of Yang Zongxian is only known to the Imperial Master."
Liu Kunnan shook his head for a while, and then reminded:
"You need to pay special attention to the Imperial Master. This person has no name or surname. Before he entered the court, he was a famous overseas sorcerer, known as Yunming Zhenren. No one knows how powerful he is, but his ability to calculate the secrets of heaven is miraculous. Almost nothing in the world can escape his calculations."
"Being able to calculate it doesn't mean you can avoid it."
Shen Qing did not find the so-called sorcerer's deduction method difficult. Knowing what is going to happen in advance can certainly give you the upper hand at certain times, but if you have no cards to use, no matter how much you know, it will be meaningless.
Just like herself, she came from the future and had long known that Daxia would decline after more than three thousand years of dynasty history, after which the princes would split and the world would be in chaos.
But knowing this news is of no help to her current situation.
It all comes down to strength. Knowing in advance when you will die cannot really be considered a means. Being able to turn danger into safety can be considered a skill.
Yang Zongxian had escaped danger several times before, using the most precious treasure of Daxia and the spiritual formation left by his predecessors.
Fundamentally speaking, these things still rely on the foundation of the Yang family for more than 3,000 years, or in other words, they rely on the legacy of the founding emperor of Daxia, and have little to do with Master Yun Ming.
If this Master Yun Ming really had unpredictable powers, Yang Zongxian would not have been injured so badly.
"Although there has been no news from the palace, Yang Zongxian's injuries should be fine, at least not serious."
After a brief pause, Liu Kunnan said in a deep voice, "My spy in the palace reported back that Yang Zongxian seems to have taken several palace maids as concubines and has favored them day and night."
The fact that he was willing to do these things was enough to prove that Yang Zongxian was not seriously injured.
When he said this, Liu Kunnan couldn't help but have a puzzled look on his face. According to the information he had, Yang Zongxian should be inhumane, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Qing narrowed his eyes for a moment. It was no secret that Yang Zongxian was not interested in women. With his level of cultivation, he would not be tempted by women.
He visited his concubines day and night, which seemed more like an urgent desire to leave behind his bloodline.
In terms of his cultivation level at the Gangsha realm, Yang Zongxian is at the prime of his life and still has several hundred years to live. He should not be distracted by the continuation of his offspring.
Leaving blood...
As he pondered, Shen Qing's brows gradually furrowed. The royal family continued their bloodline just to find an heir. Yang Zongxian had started to think about this matter so early. After thinking about it, there was only one possibility: he did not intend to sit on the throne for a long time...
Recalling what Wen Tianfeng had said before about the road leading to outer space, a flash of light flashed through Shen Qing's mind, and he suddenly understood.
Yang Zongxian is leaving!
Thinking of this, Shen Qing couldn't help but stand up, and his hands behind his back couldn't stop clenching into fists.
So many people have died in the world now. If Yang Zongxian could finally leave safely, it would undoubtedly be too absurd. Even if he finally took over the world, it would be meaningless.
"What did you think of?"
Seeing Shen Qing losing his composure, Liu Kunnan immediately asked him. It was obvious that Shen Qing had discovered a secret that he didn't know.
"Yang Zongxian may be planning to leave this planet." Shen Qing did not hide it, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
In this way, the time left for her became more and more urgent. After all, that road was in Yang Zongxian's hands. Whether to go or stay was entirely up to him. Shen Qing had no way to interfere.
"Leave this planet?"
Liu Kunnan was distracted for a moment. After all, he was not a cultivator. At most, he had some contact with martial arts. He did not understand many of the secrets of cultivation, and his thinking was too easily limited.
After Shen Qing's explanation, he gradually understood the meaning of the road beyond the sky.
Bloodshot gradually welled up in his pupils. Liu Kunnan clenched his fists, his breathing becoming a little rapid. Letting Yang Zongxian escape safely like this was the result he could not accept the most.
"I will rush to the imperial capital today to find out more about Yang Zongxian." Shen Qing was afraid that something might happen if he was late, so he prepared to leave immediately.
Even if Yang Zongxian holds a trump card, she also has the sundial as a backup. As long as Yang Zongxian does not have a trump card that can kill her instantly, she does not have to worry too much.
Although this might alert the enemy, there was no time to worry about that now.
"There's no rush for this matter. Wait for me to make some arrangements."
Liu Kunnan suppressed his impulse and said in a deep voice: "I will have the spies in the palace keep a close eye on Yang Zongxian's actions. Leaving an heir is not a one-day job. You want to take over the world, which is not something that can be achieved overnight."
He quickly calmed down, gradually loosened his clenched fists, and began to help Shen Qing analyze the situation:
"If you go to the imperial capital this time and fail to kill him directly, it is very likely to backfire and force Yang Zongxian to make a decision as soon as possible. In his eyes, this world has no weight at all. If he says to give it up, then he will give it up."
"If you kill Yang Zongxian directly, it will also cause chaos in the world. Now only Qianzhou is in your hands. The remaining seven continents will definitely break out in war. Even if you send troops to suppress the rebellion, at least tens of millions of people will die..."
"Especially Lingzhou and Fengzhou. These two continents are close to overseas and have long been infiltrated by the remnants of the overseas Tiangan. They have planted countless secret stakes. If they learn that Yang Zongxian is dead, they will surely be ready to move."
At this point, Liu Kunnan had completely calmed down, and his breathing gradually became steady:
"Let's do as I said before. I will help you and bring the other continents under your command first. During this time, I will secretly spread the news overseas, saying that Yang Zongxian was severely injured by the human demon and his foundation was damaged. He needs to rely on the method of replenishing yin and yang to prolong his life. This half-truth may attract some people who want to take risks and pave the way for you."
Liu Kunnan's ideas are undoubtedly more comprehensive, and he always considers the common people of the world.
After secretly ruling the seven continents, Shen Qing will be able to minimize all casualties, and the power of the world will enter a smooth transition. For the common people, it will just be a new sky above their heads, and they will not be disturbed or harmed too much.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Shen Qing is able to kill Yang Zongxian.
If Shen Qing died at the hands of Yang Zongxian, then all these arrangements would be a joke. No matter how much one did, even if one put in all one's efforts, it would all be in vain in the blink of an eye.
"Then let's do as Prime Minister Liu said."
Shen Qing pondered for a while, and finally agreed with Liu Kunnan's idea.
Her final idea was the same as Liu Kunnan's, both wanted to kill Yang Zongxian, but Liu Kunnan's idea obviously had a greater chance of success.
wow——
Liu Kunnan flicked his sleeves, pushed the cups on the tea table aside, took out a map from his arms, and slowly unfolded it. It turned out to be a map of Daxia.
